130+ Congratulatory Letters to Promotion – Maj.Gen. Perry M. Hoisington, USAF -1961 Perry M. Hoisington, II, was born at West Point, New York, in 1916. He graduated from the USMA in 1939. Prior to entering the academy he attended John Hopkins University – 1934-35. He graduated from Kelly Field, Texas, and became a pilot in the Army Air Corps. During WWII he served in the Training Command, then moved on to the first B-29 organization of the 20th Bomber Command, seeing combat actions against the Japanese in India, China, and the Mariannas Islands; and participated in the first daylight missions with the B-19s over Japan mainland. After the WWII, he was the first commander of the Atomic Test Center at Kirkland Air Base, N.M., and later assigned to the AF Office of Atomic Energy in the Pentagon. Some of his other career assignments were NATO’s AF Southern Europe in Italy, Strategic Air Command where over a period of 5 years commanded the 818th, 820, and 6th Air Divisions. Decorations: Silver Star, DFC w/ OLC, American Defense Medal, Dist. Unit Badge, WWII Victory, Army Combat Ribbon, American Campaign Ribbon, Commendation Ribbon, and three unit citations. There are approximately 140 autographed letters, etc. of congratulations to General Hoisington’s promotion to Major General. Most of these are signed by other general officers, and some colonels, on their command stationery with letterhead. Some are simply signed with a first name, over his typed name and rank, others full signature. Just about all are accompanied with the original cover. This collection of officers have fine military records made during WWII and Korean wars. I have placed in plastic sleeves over 80 officers, again mostly generals, accompanied by downloaded bio’s with photographs (no actual photographs); and another 30 approx. letters by lesser known, lesser rank officers that I did not research.
